This should be easy - connect using a web browser - you can make pocket
IE full screen without menus etc. Use either a network card or USB back
to the PC. The latter can be used to power the thing even. You could
also connect the PPC to powered speakers and play MP3/WMA files through
it.

Now when I can find some units at a decent price!
